Dr. Integrated Nutritional, Genetic, and Environmental Strategies for Enhancing Egg Production Efficiency in Commercial Laying Hens

Egg production in commercial poultry systems is influenced by a complex interaction of genetic, nutritional, environmental, and managerial factors. This study investigates the combined impact of optimized feed composition, controlled environmental conditions, and genetic strain selection on egg production performance. A total of 240 laying hens were observed over a 20-week production cycle under controlled experimental conditions. Results demonstrated that hens receiving balanced protein-energy diets supplemented with micronutrients showed significantly higher egg production rates and improved shell quality. Environmental optimization, including temperature and lighting control, further enhanced laying persistence. The study concludes that an integrated approach can improve productivity while maintaining animal welfare and sustainability
